Nothing wrong with alky, you just neglected to re-jet for it.

Nate,
We used to have a murry lawn mower and the best thing we did to it =
was change the drive pulleys. It is kinda like swaping gears in your =
trans.,but a little different. There is one pulley going from the =
engine to the trans. pulleys. I think we changed that one to smaller =
pulley =20
Our murry was alot of fun. We used to put it in reverse, floor it =
then slam it into 1st and the best of use could keep a wheely for about =
15yards. It was the most fun I ever had with beer and trackers. What =
you don't want to do is try running off of ethonal in stead of pump gas. =
We tried that and seized the motor. So you might want to stay away =
from trying to chemically supercharge the B&S. =20
HTH
